​@@jmuntSupervising a student driver is exactly what I was mentally comparing it to this morning. More stressful than just driving, by far. I'll see if I get 12.3.3 before the free month ends. (I have a previous minor release.). But the lane indecision, failing to move to the correct lane in time for a turn, very bad lane centering (which it shows on the screen too), constant failure to keep right on a residential road, some balks at nothing, failure to slow for deer, excessive hesitancy at empty intersections (not just a pause, but just sitting there for a long time), slowing way too late for a red light on a downslope in winter... I lost count of the disengagements in only a few days. AutoPark works ok mostly, except at the cafe which has concrete barriers in the stalls a few feet out from the curb, to keep people from parking too close to the eating area. AutoPark ignores those. So, one feature that's almost as easy as doing it myself, mostly.

❤ Great video. We are away and have received V12.3.3 in Canada… I can’t wait to try it when I get back. This is the first video that I’m sending to my husband because he has always been a bit sceptical as a passenger in ≤V11. I think he will appreciate these major improvements.🎉

I'm going to revisit my usual test loop today. 12.3 actually did very poorly on the loop, but I've noticed many of the issues I had there were no longer present in my drive with 12.3.3 yesterday. Will probably do a video where I directly compare the behaviors since I hadn't edited that video yet. Your sentiment of "Ugh this is awesome" when the car accounted for the lead car's mistake at around 17:00 is exactly how I feel about 12.3.3 - the speed feels much more natural to me too. The beginning of the video where you're on the campus, I'd be pressing the accelerator to about speed limit, but on my local campus, it actually speeds WAY too much so I had to disengage.

Thanks for this! In my first 2 short drives yesterday with 12.3, i noticed a quicker release from Stop signs, by a second or more. I'll keep testing this. Also saw some wavering in lane selection as you did, but it chose the correct lane.

Last night after watching the spacex launch FSD 12.3.3 drove me all the way home with zero interventions and very little embarrassingly slow incidents. Insane!! Wish I had FSD on my Y now hahaha

12.3.3 is way overly-cautious on my empty neighborhood road. I think you are right, the system does better with traffic to give it context. One possibility is that Tesla, for an early release being shotgunned out as free to thousands of new FSD drivers, turned up the cautiousness weighting really high. I understand the need to mitigate risk, and expect that weighting will be dialed down soon enough.

Thanks for your great videos. V12.3.3 is doing great. In suburbia almost every drive is zero disengagement and usually zero interventions. Too timid at moving thru Stop signs is my biggest complaint. Sped control has improved but still needs refinement.

Chris, just as you track interventions and disengagements, we track beta tester excitement. And this video has, to date, the highest "tester excitement" score of all your 648 beta testing videos. I normally don't bookmark many beta testing videos, but this one is a keeper. :) (And one of the resent ones with Stephanie in the Cybertruck had her highest excitement score.)

I am as excited as you are mate, this is insane!

16:26 was impressive with the pedestrian. The getting in the wrong lane and stopping before the curb at 21:50 might be a good example of why it is "supervised". The car made a wrong move, doesn't do anything dangerous but just stops and is basically saying to you (the supervisor), hey... I need help with this. I see nothing wrong with that.

Because of your videos, I entered into my 30-day trial with appropriate expectations and I feel has made my experience so much better. Of course, it's not perfect and makes some very stupid mistakes, but impressive none the less. Thank you so much for making these videos!

Thanks Chris for your honest reviews. There is the good and the bad. Today I had a bad. My Y V13.3.3 made a left turn at an intersection with traffic lights. It did really well at waiting for oncoming traffic. Once it was clear it proceeded, accelerating quite fast. It clipped the curb of the dividing island while doing the left turn. It felt like a good left turn, then it clipped the dividing island on the driver’s side. It happened so fast, that I could not intervene. It may not be beta now, but supervisor must be alert and willing to accept that the car might do the worst thing at the worst time.

I have been FSD and you really have to be alert. Like teaching your teenager to drive. It has done some weird things like switching lanes to in coming traffic

So cool that I downloaded 12.3.3 last night as well.

In my area it still makes crazy mistakes like saying it’s going to turn left, but turning right , or driving the wrong way in a school zone. I’ve reported these errors for years with no improvement

@Dirty - I’ve been following your FSD content for quite some time now, and I love your videos and candor. On Monday, I received the 12.3.3 update, and I have two gripes. I’ve watched many of your YT videos and also observed others showcasing 12.3.3 to see if they experience the same gripes, which I haven’t. Here are my main two gripes. 1) Very Aggressive Braking: The regen bar goes full and continues full left with a gray braking indication. The car slows down well before the stop line and then creeps forward slowly. This behavior occurs at stop signs and when approaching stopped vehicles at red lights. 2) Stuttering Lane Changes: During lane changes, the car starts moving over to complete the maneuver. However, just as the tires would reach the lane line, the car momentarily stops moving over, goes straight, and then finally completes the lane change. This issue occurs over 75% of the time. It seems that both of these points are regressions from the previous version. Have you experienced these issues with 12.3.3 as well? I did see some recommendations on other social platforms suggest to calibrate the cameras, but I would assume if that was needed, Tesla would mention something. Love your content and thank you for continuing to showcase your passion for FSD and Tesla.

I've been experiancing the studdering lane changes starting on 11.4.9 but only when there's a car not to far back in the lane I'm changing into. This is a dead giveaway to others a robot is driving the car. The more human like behavior is to slowly start a lane change and don't commit until the adjenct car backs off. I hope they smooth out this robot like signaling behavior to others in future releases.

😂😂 chris lost it and i loved it.

Your enthusiasm is awesome dude!!! I love FSD too and it’s super amazing how good it is getting! Next year just imagine where we will be. It’s crazy to think about especially since all of this started just a few years back

😎🤙 Sweet drive.

Although generally amazing it still has some glitches and is not always smooth. It slowed for speed bumps and I found that amazing. Went for about 15 mile drive which included highway and town and it almost made it. When I got into town even though the route was straight on it got in the turning lane (,5 miles short of actual turn) and it really was the turning lane only . Had some trouble with it slowing down in the middle of turns. Also it tends to creep out and turn slowly from a stop then floor it , where I woulds make a smooth acceleration turn. It seemed to have trouble with one of those 270 degree highway entrances jumping out of self driving once and coming to a total stop at the merge point another time . Sometimes it goes extra slow on a street and I don't know why .

Love your videos. I've found a few scenarios that don't work out that well for v12. Most of the problems I've observed are in DC because the road designs here are just so much more complicated depending on the area. First, difficult intersections where you have to be more assertive, like cutting through 4 lanes to get to a nearby intersection. Second is when there's tons of traffic. It does tend to get into the correct lane a little too late for my taste - I'd rather wait at the back of the line but FSD likes to cut queues, though it does it pretty well 😬 But overall... Man I've never been so excited to drive my red Tessie. This makes life so much better. Now they gotta improve smart summon, add reversing to FSD and add reverse smart summon (you leave the car, it looks for a spot.)

Would love to see a before / after comparison compilation of some of the toughest areas FSD used to struggle with Vs what it does now!

@@DerekDavis213 I'm aware, I was referring to DT's videos / experiences specifically.

My only complaint is that it stops WAY too early for stop signs. So early that I can’t even see oncoming traffic because there’s a tree/bush/etc in the way. Pull all the way up to the road at a stop sign. Especially on back roads where you’re turning from a neighborhood onto a 50mph road. I need to see the oncoming traffic. It does creep forward and check but the whole process is really slow and if anyone was behind me they’d be frustrated. It also needs to anticipate your next direction because if there’s a two lane left hand turn and you need to go right after that, it still hops in the left-left turn lane.

Good afternoon

FSD 11 would curl up in a ball and cry in Manhattan. I took my HW4 MS through Chelsea yesterday and it was crazy good. NYC pedestrians are not very respectful of "Don't Walk" signs and e-bike food deliveries come up fast on the left side constantly. No problem. It was totally human-like, signaling it's intentions with creeping turns. I'm blown away. What it doesn't do, is make the best lane choices entering an exiting the toll plazas, bridges and tunnels. Not a big deal.

It’s funny, FSD V12 on my 2022 Model 3 appears much smoother and more confident than what I’m seeing on your video. I’m also putting the car through what I consider extremely difficult conditions with much more traffic (downtown Montreal). My biggest gripe is when transitioning from city driving to highway. Often in a large city it isn’t clear when this happens and then I find myself adjusting the speed settings.

Always err on the side of cool! 7:22 😄

Best Yet - Got through places on my drive the old system failed. I feel way more comfortable with this one. (Still think the acceleration after a stop is too aggressive)

i love tesla

Fantastic blue headlight that bends around the curve!

Thank you for sending the VM "Tried to drive into the curb". That was something in need of fixing (because the occupancy network could clearly see the curb). And redrive this route after the next update or two... I betcha it'll be fixed.

Thanks for the video 👍🏽 Please mount your mic so it doesn't rub on whatever it's mounted to.

Brilliant commentary and demonstrations of FSD evolution! Thanks Mate!!

Other owners in the Facebook Denver Tesla Group are having this success.

At 12:37, FSD was hesitant because of a person was getting out of his car on the opposite side of the intersection.

I’m glad to get the free FSD demo. On my first trip, I had to disengage 3 times for a 5 mile trip. I disengaged twice on the way back. It’s not quite ready yet.

I just got the software update notification as I was watching this- the car heard you!

The pedestrians gait identified that she was not attempting to move as she stepped back slightly after checking the road way. Once she stood there and didn't walk forward the car sees that she is stationary/not attempting to intersect with path and continues. It might also acknowledge hand signals and such but I'm not sure

I’ve noticed that FSD uses navigation and its cameras to build those intersections so well. I was driving down a road that just got a roundabout put in and FSD slowed down significantly and went through it at about 12mph and was trying to patch it together on the screen. It was really interesting to watch it do.

How do you capture the screen in your tesla? Cool video. So far I think my tesla has been learning more every trip. Amazing stuff.

Chris, could you do a drive down that parking garage you used to test FSD in back in the days? Think it was in a campus area maybe. Thank you for your content.

The slowing down in the uni area could be what I was finding while training v12, I think it miss interprets tree shadows for either a dip in the road or speed bump and slows for it. I found it used to change lanes to avoid the shadows.

Excited Chris is the best. After knowing how level headlined he usually is and the really good pedantic complaints, it’s always awesome to see him just super excited for what is happening.

I am so impressed with FSD! On assertive mode, it makes me chuckle. It drives faster than I do lol it always puts a smile on my face. I don’t think people are aware of all the implications when FSD is 100% mainstream. It’s truly disruptive technology, the implications on productivity are crazy!

5:00+ . I noticed that 12.3.3 slows down on really rough pavement. I kind of like it. Still wish Auto speed would take scroll wheel hints, though.

12:23 I believe it was likely waiting for the guy to get out of the car across the intersection. Usually we would wait closer or just go round but I imagine the car didn't want to go around because of the lane markings in the middle of the road

Chris, I have been using FSD Supervised 3 days now, a couple of observations. First day on a dirt road, it does not recognize pot holes. It has shown difficulty with speed, has glitched/hesitated when matching a change in posted speed, needs coaxing. Seems to react slower/later for stops than I would like. I do like it though. $12k too much for as little as I would realistically use it. May consider use on a road trip.

Good work

Thank you for clarify the under speed limit at higher speeds. 😢 I hope this is fixed. Other than that, it feels great to “supervise”. 😊

So at empty intersections, there are no markers for the AI to make an assertive or defined decision, so it double checks to make sure there is nothing it has missed. This actually seems more of a preventative measure to prevent overconfidence which would more likely result in accidents.

In a narrow-ish neighborhood near me, FSD on assertive accelerates way to fast and uncomfortably and ends up slowing back down, almost like its realizing its going to fast for the street its on.

22:10 I have FSD 12.3 and about half the time it doesn't recognize medians in turning lanes. It will turn into a right turning lane early and not see that before the actual turn there is a median in the turning lane that requires us to turn early. I never let it go to see what it does because it's speeding towards the median. However, the other half of the time, at the same exact spots, it will realize there is a median and either not get in the turn lane or get back in the correct lane. I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem. I'm leaning toward hardware is having trouble recognizing the median.

I feel like curbs have been fixed with 12.3.3, I had an issue with 12.3 on the last day I had it and it did hit a curb at speed(30 mph not even on a real turn)..lucky it was just tire somehow.

I just noticed that with the auto-speed set... if the car has decided to go below what it considers max... and I press the accelerator and speed up a bit... that new speed will "stick" (as long as it is below what is considered max). This seems to replace adjusting the speed using the scroll button. I have not found a way to get it to slow down tho.

Thank you for all your beta testing efforts! You're free now to supervise... I hope you keep making videos.

This is crazy! I got this FSD S v12.3.3 yesterday! it is 75% Improvement, there are still some bugs like v11 mistake, like lane management, but one thing I want to point out, is I don't know if it's the car hardware (2018 m3) or the region I am in Toronto Canada. I don't have auto-park and also my m3 does not finish the route, meaning; if I set the nav to go home, it never end there, it stop one house before my house and it does not park it self like I see it in your video in the parking lot and it find it's way to park. At my house never goes to the drive way are you experiencing the same? with this version?

The other day I was using it to go home and for some reason it just pulled over like the trip had ended; but we were a good 1/2 mile from my house????

I agree with the speed part, in slow place it goes a bit faster than I like, on higher speed area, it's too conservative.

Every time the car phantom brakes around the 5,5 minute mark, it's because of the cyclist lane marking on the road. The stop line on screen seems to track with the position of the marking on the read. You can also see the marking appear on the screen from underneath the car when it accelerates again.

My 12.3.3 first drive impressions. - It actually slowed way down (appropriately) for a water filled pothole where my dirt road transitions to a paved section. That’s the first time FSD has ever done that. 👍 - This version seems to make right hand turns a little too early and as a result places the right rear wheel unnecessarily close to the curb. I disengaged once just so I could report it even though the wheel would have just barely cleared the curb. 👎 - I had to disengage once going into a commercial shopping center parking lot where the car has to snake through a tight entrance and then turn right at a T intersection to follow the correct route as indicated on the navigation screen. Instead it became undecided about which way to turn and slowly eased forward directly toward the curb while twitching the steering wheel. I disengaged about 4’ from the curb and had to turn full lock the right to make the correct turn, just barely clearing the curb with my LF tire. I’m not sure if it would have driven into the curb if Inhadnt disengaged. Probably not but it would have been stuck there because it would have needed to back up to get out of that situation. And it doesn’t yet have the ability to do that. 👎 - I was able to engage FSD in my driveway for the first time. The driveway goes uphill fairly steeply to a T into the street. There are fullly mature evergreens on both sides of the end of the driveway that interfere with visibility. FSD handled the transition to the city street perfectly! 👍 Leaving a parking lot making an unprotected left turn onto a 4-lane city street the exit road widens into a painted arrow marked left and right turn lane. FSD couldn’t make up its mind to use the left turn lane and instead stopped in the center of the widened roadway, half in each turn lane. 👎 Since there was no one behind me I let FSD proceed and it had no trouble with the unprotected left even though there was moderate cross traffic in both lanes.👍 It was raining lightly and FSD claimed to be operating in Degraded mode. I’ve seen that message before over the years of testing but never noticed what was degraded.

Chris, regarding your comments about V12.3.3 “Auto” limit speed behavior… In the Phoenix area we have a lot of 45 mph multi-lane roads, which everybody drives at about 55 mph. I have noticed that my car will only go about 45 mph (after a stoplight etc.), but if I press the throttle to get up to 55 mph, and if traffic around me is about the same 55 mph, I can let off and the car will then maintain 55 mph itself within traffic. But, I always seem to have to “encourage” the car up to 55 mph, then it seems to “get comfortable” with the speed.

Thanks Chris. Do you have any sense of how long it takes Tesla to actually distribute new versions to the fleet? I got 12.3 the day after Chuck but have had no point releases since so I am wondering if that is a bottleneck at Tesla’s end or if they are intentionally wanting multiple versions running?

I have found that when pedestrians are in front and crossing FSD gives them space. I surmised it's more for the comfort of pedestrian, to show car's intent. Not for the comfort of the driver. I like it doing so since so many drivers in my area don't yield to them. Thanks for your commentary and channel.

I have tried toggling between absolute and relative speed adherence but I suspect this will be a necessary option, particularly when passing through school zones, as you identified.

I think a more interesting video would be to get a ride and comment everything you’d do different to a friend driver then compare that to FSD. You mentioned something I never thought of, every time you or I use FSD we are “backseat driving” because it’s required. On rides I’ve been tired or more in deep thought just supervising the car less critically I have noticed I don’t really see a ton of annoyance with the system.

Love your videos keep it up!

When I recently passed my motorcycle driving licence in Canada I was told that I must remain behind the stop line at a left green light turn until I'm 100% I can pass, if there is traffic and the light turns yellow I will have to wait (you can stay here forever!). Going in the middle of the intersection is something everyone does and of course you will not stay there if the light turns red but that's something against the law in Canada (but again, nobody respects that, and it's ok).

Giving a free trial is smart af! Obviously for people to experience it and mabe buy it but mostly because of all that data they gonna get to train it further in the new neural network! Its gonna be flawless soon

Hey Chris, can I ask you where you usually drive in America? I‘m from Austria and will visit some states in July for vacation (grandparents) Do you know if there’s any cars I could rent for like one day or even less? I truly want to test FSD since I have myself a Tesla and FSD (boring Europe edition tho) I would really like to try or at least sit in one Tesla having FSD turned on. I‘m pretty young so renting on Turo is not really an option since most offers are requiring the driver to be minimum 25 years old (which I‘m not 😬)

I turned off the "let the car set speed" feature under autopilot, and it's going a little bit faster but still slower than 11.4.9. I noticed it seems to keep up with traffic if its following a car but by itself it drives too slow. Hopfully like any new driver FSD will become more confidentas time progresses.
